It is a journalistic decision to simply repeat whatever officials say without any attempt to do any reporting on whether what they are saying is true, supported by facts, or credible. Specifically, it is a decision not to do journalism.

In this CI/CD and Pipeline based world .. I kind of miss the world of clicking save and it saves over FTP directly on production and your change is live. It made for very fast iterative development. In some ways it was superiour, because you can test live while its fresh in your mind.

Domain pricing has become enshitified also. First year is $3. Year 2 is $30, but year three is $300. I'm not buying a domain to pay you insane amounts of money 5 years from now.

Honestly, it's already getting hard to keep up with all of the new climate data records. And I only expect this to amplify later this year. Climate change is still the key story. You just experienced the warmest summer on record across the contiguous United States. Data at doi.org/10.7289/V5SX...

I always just assumed facebook would die out and fade when old people died and faded out. It is an absolute shock to my system to see younger people using facebook. What in the fuck? How is anyone so dumb as to use facebook?

Hakeem Jeffries is not in danger of losing his election in Nov. But he should be in danger of losing his position as the leader of democrats in congress. If you’re out there telling others to give him a pass… Criticism isn’t going to cost us a seat… but it might save us from bad leadership.

I feel like a man when AI can't solve a problem and I'm like -- fuck it I'll do it myself -- and I figure it out and its fixed. Fuck you AI, I can use my brain too.

I have never once used GitHub Copilot in my life. And yet, every month I get the same " Your GitHub Copilot access has been renewed " email Can anyone explain?

We made a fake repo with fake bounties, and the bots are applying fake PRs, so we know who is fake, and we can ban them from the Coolify repo. IQ over 1000

Wikipedia is one of mankinds greatest achievments. Far greater than the iPhone or velcrow or whatever other modern inventions that people tend to praise.

I've had two songs stuck my head so I just keep playing both of them because, why not. They are good songs. Wolf Parade - I'll Believe in Anything A Fine Frenzy - Now Is The Start

I have been trading Fartcoin. A lot. My kids will make fun of me for anything so I've tried to hide this one from them. So far they haven't see it.

Man these LLM's are so fucking good that sometimes **EVEN I** treat them like humans. That is nuts. I can only imaging how easy it is for those far less technical to fall into that habit. Gotta remind myself all the time to just give commands, it actually wastes my time and tokens to explain why

So after a few days on ProtonMail ... I like it a lot, ProtonMail really did well in paying attention to the details. It's slow though. And I keep getting spam emails where in googles workspace thing I did not. So I don't know what I'm going to do. I really hate slow things a lot.

Life if such a fucking struggle, that on those times when life just stops beating me down -- I actually get a little panicky and unsure of what to do with myself.
